100NL - TT in 3 bet pot Line check...
Villain is 100BB deep I cover...
Villain was 22/11/2 over a 1K hand sample mined at 1/2, I'm playing 21/18/4, but I doubt he knows this as it his 3rd orbit. This is the third time I've 3 bet him since he sat, once with a good hand, once with an Ok hand, this is the only time he's called. Anyway, I had a small argument with a friend over the play of the hand and why I shove flop... His arguments for calling flop... 1. I should just call flop as it allows opponent to play perfectly folding all worse and calling with all better. 2. I should try and get it on a safe turn, ie; non A,K,Q as it yields a higher expected return. 3. By not shoving I allow Villain to 'Bluff' again. My arguments for shoving flop... 1. A call signifies more strength than a shove and Villain likely isn't putting anymore money in unless he spikes his likely 6 or 2 outer. 2. I'm more likely to get looked if I shove by a small pair that calls BS as I'm pretty much going to shove my entire range except maybe the nuts, ie; KK+. 3. I don't think he donk leads Jx or QQ+ here ever, so I protect my hand from a possible outdraw when no further money will go in unless he catches. 4. It's almost neutral EV for him to call at this point as he's getting 3-1 on a call and there's already good money in the middle. Here's the hand. SB posted the small blind - $0.50 BB posted the big blind - $1.00 UTG folded Villain raised - $4.00 Hero raised - $15.00 W/ T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] BTN folded SB folded BB folded Villain called - $15.00 ** Dealing the flop: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Villain bet - $25.00 Hero Shoves... (about 60 more for Villain to call) |

Re: 100NL - TT in 3 bet pot Line check...
I assume you believe you are ahead, as obviously no J or overpair is folding here. So, on this assumption, I like to give villan a little rope to hang himself with. Villan needs to be capable of bluffing, and the turn needs to brick. I just think the average villan is more likely to bluff with overs than to call all in with them, if that's what you put him on.
That said, I think neither line should be used exclusively, and I given the same circumstance I would like to do each a percentage of the time, depending on opponent. |
